Utah Customer Generation

Utah net metering update

On Sept. 29, 2017, the Public Service Commission of Utah approved a settlement agreement between several stakeholders related to residential customer generation.

The settlement capped the current net metering program November 15, 2017, allowing 'grandfathered' net metering customers to stay on the original program until 2035.

On November 15, 2017 the 'transition program' began for customers with new generation systems. Customers will receive ‘export credits’ for energy they export back to the grid. Usage and export credits will be measured in 15-minute intervals.

The settlement agreement included a diverse group of interested parties, including:

Tariff

State tariffs specify that customers are responsible for all costs associated with any modification to the generating facility that may be required to connect it to the larger utility system. Please note: Customer generation rules, credits and rates are subject to the oversight and changes made by the Utah Public Service Commission.
